Chapter 788: Pugilistic World

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boyang Commandery, Golden Breeze Drizzle Building.

This was a famous intelligence agency in the Pugilistic World, known for its up-to-date and reliable information. It had branches in every commandery, but nobody knew where the headquarters was located.

It was said that the building was guarded by one of the top ten experts in the Pugilistic World and that the agency was supported by a few established sects and holy grounds. Otherwise, it would not have developed to today’s scale.

Golden Breeze Drizzle Buildings had different sizes. The most common ones had three floors, the commandery branches had seven floors, and the headquarters was said to be the only one with nine floors.

Fang Yuan entered the commandery’s seven-floor Golden Breeze Drizzle Building.

It was noon, and the building was bustling with activity. Many rich customers were squandering their money.

The Golden Breeze Drizzle Building was not only an intelligence agency, but a giant commercial center that contained restaurants, teahouses, casinos, and so on. It was the most lively place in the commandery.

Even though it only had seven floors, the decorations were extremely extravagant.

The bottom three floors were open to everyone, while the top four floors only welcomed renowned martial artists. Inside the building, customers could purchase armaments and spiritual medicine, obtain intelligence, and even employ experts. There was nothing that the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building could not achieve.

Fang Yuan was wearing a simple martial artist robe. The Blood Imbibing Saber he carried behind his back was wrapped in white cloth, just like a wooden plank. It was not conspicuous as there were many martial artists in the Pugilistic World who did not want to expose their armaments.

He went straight to a restaurant on the third floor and sat down at a table close to the window. He ordered a few simple dishes and a pot of wine, taking his time to consume the food.

“Humans in the Pugilistic World are like water in a tide, never certain if they’ll return to the places they’re from!”

Gazing at the young and energetic martial artists, Fang Yuan sighed faintly.

People could only see the fame and fortune of successful martial artists in the Pugilistic World. Who could tell how many martial artists had died in battle, their bones buried in nameless graves?

The business of the restaurant was booming, and the seats were soon fully occupied. The chef’s skill was satisfactory as well, their spicy chicken tasting great with the fragrant wine.

Of course, he had better experiences being served by the numerous chefs in the Divine Armament Mountain Villa, but it was a pity that the magnificent Divine Armament Mountain Villa had already collapsed!

Fang Yuan lifted the cup of wine and drank it in one mouthful.

After the battle at the Divine Armament Mountain Villa, he had dismissed all the servants and let Nangong Wentian and his sisters live at a new place with new names.

They had to do this!

After all, it would be troublesome if Nangong Wentian’s identity as a member of the Demon Sect was disclosed. If they had stayed there slightly longer, they might have been killed under the siege of both the Orthodox Dao and the Demon Dao.

Their only choice was to change their names and start again at a different place.

“Although Chang Kun is burdened by his family, he loves Nangong Qing quite a lot. There may be some problem with Nangong Xiu and Xu Ruyu, but Nangong Wentian has recovered from the battle and can definitely suppress him!”

When it came to life experience and political mind games, Xu Ruyu was no match for Nangong Wentian.

Furthermore, with Fang Yuan’s help, Nangong Wentian had not only recovered, but his cultivation had also improved by practicing the Prolonged Grievance Demon Technique. With his first-grade grandmaster realm, together with the Prolonged Grievance Hook, he could even be one of the top 100 martial artists. And given that he was trying his best to hide, the safety of his family would not be an issue.

“The fierce battle at the Divine Armament Mountain Villa revealed that Young Lord Nangong Wuwang is the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber. He slaughtered the martial artists there and even defeated the Demon Sect’s Heaven Grudge Marquis. Martial artists who saw the battlefield afterward were all shocked by the saber scars in the green stones of the villa. The Golden Breeze Drizzle Building has updated the ranking as well, and the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber, Nangong Wuwang, has replaced the Heaven Grudge Marquis to become the ninth most skilled expert...”

It was the Pugilistic World storytelling at the Drizzle Building.

At the center of the hall, an old storyteller was talking non-stop about the recent breaking news in the Pugilistic World.

The Divine Armament Mountain Villa was mentioned repeatedly, but there were many inaccuracies in his story. Nevertheless, the customers were still fascinated by it.

“That’s what life should be like! If I have a chance to become famous in the Pugilistic World, I’d willingly die for it!” A muscular man patted his leg and let out a long sigh.

“Your words seem to imply that you want to convert to the Demon Dao?” An affluent customer beside him shook their head. “Nangong Wuwang slaughtered too many martial artists. After the battle, more than half of the skilled martial artists in the surrounding commanderies, including seniors like Elder Wan and Venerable Pine Crane, lost their lives, and the Blood Imbibing Saber devoured all their blood. His behavior was simply insane and immoral... The head of this generation’s Kong family has declared that he’ll challenge this Blood Imbibing Saber’s owner. Although this person has risen to fame, he’ll die in no time!”

“That’s right. We should kill this demon and enforce heaven’s will!”

The customers concurring aloud were mostly young men and women. More experienced martial artists did not engage in the discussion. They continued eating and drinking, ironic expressions on their faces.

These young people were too naive, shouting that they would kill a formidable martial artist equipped with a Demonic Armament. They were simply courting death by saying such reckless words.

In fact, caution was indeed necessary.

That was because the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber denounced by them was sitting right beside them and listening to their criticism.

Elder Wan? Venerable Pine Crane?

In the end, Fang Yuan heard those martial artists reiterating the silly deeds the wastrel had done in the past, feeling even more speechless.

Nangong Wuwang had indeed been a useless wastrel, so it was inevitable that his deeds were criticized after he became famous.

But it was unjust to claim that he was cruel and bloodthirsty, that he had slaughtered the martial artists on purpose.

During the battle at Divine Armament Mountain Villa, Elder Wan and Venerable Pine Crane were inadvertently torn up by the Saber Qi. If he had intended to murder all of them, he would not have spared those martial artists outside the battlefield.

Therefore, he had at most killed unintentionally rather than murdered deliberately.

But of course, he could not confront them and make the correction right now.

That Kong family, however, was very annoying!

The Kong family was one of the renowned families in the Pugilistic World. The Righteousness Ruler possessed by the family ranked seventh among all the Divine Armaments. The Righteousness Formulation was also the best-known heaven-grade Divine Art of the Orthodox Dao. This large family with a large fortune shouldered the responsibility of maintaining righteousness in the Pugilistic World.

The previous owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber had rampaged through the Pugilistic World, and it was the head of that generation’s Kong family who had wielded the Divine Armament and defeated him. Even the Blood Imbibing Saber was damaged in the battle and sealed until recently.

It was commonplace for the grudges of one generation to be passed down to the next.

Other reasons aside, every martial artist believed that when the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber matured, he would absolutely take his revenge on the Kong family’s family head and repair his reputation.

Since the conflict was inevitable, any normal person would want to take action first.

Those who acted tolerant and gave the youth a few years to seek revenge would typically end up with a miserable death.

Furthermore, the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber was of the Demon Dao!

Why would they need to follow the rules in the Pugilistic World when dealing with the Demon Dao? They would be promoting righteousness even if they besieged him!

The more venerable and orthodox a sect was, the better it was at this kind of reasoning.

“Speaking of which, every generation of the Six Dao Demon Sect is weaker than the previous, unlike the martial arts holy grounds of our Orthodox Dao!” A young swordsman seemed drunk, his cheeks flushed with wine. “The Heaven Grudge Marquis was an expert in the Demon Sect, but it’s laughable that he was killed by a brat. Some day, I—Flying Rainbow Sword Lin Guanzhong—will enforce heaven’s will. I’ll become famous by killing a few experts of the Demon Dao and annihilating the entire Demon Sect!”

Poof!

As soon as he ended his sentence, blood splashed from his mouth and his tongue dropped to the floor.

“Ah!”

After a moment of absolute silence, a female martial artist’s shriek was heard.

She was pale and trembling, no longer as chivalrous as before.

Such a fast sword! The experienced martial artists felt scared witnessing this. There’s probably a Demon Dao expert in this building. Sigh... That young man was too reckless. Even the top martial artists of the holy grounds dare not say that they could annihilate the Demon Sect!

The commotion spread quickly. The young man rolled on the ground and screamed incoherently.

Some customers were afraid of getting into trouble and went downstairs; others stayed at a distance, waiting excitedly to see what would happen next.

Before long, a group of guards hurried in.

After all, the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building was a powerful force in the Pugilistic World. It was humiliating that a customer was hurt in their territory, and they would surely attempt to put things right.

“Come, bring this man to the clinic for treatment!”

The leader of the guards was an old man holding the double iron spheres. He was strong and hefty, and his long beard made him look like an enraged lion.

“It’s Iron Lion Ao Zhan! He’s a third-grade master!”

The eyes of the onlookers glistened. “This is getting interesting!”

Ao Zhan looked around and frowned. He cupped his fists and greeted the surrounding customers. “That person was talking nonsense and should be taught a lesson. But since you dared to do such a thing in the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building, do you dare tell us who you are?”

“If we weren’t in the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building, he would have lost more than his tongue!” A reply was heard at the table beside Fang Yuan.

A young man in black occupied the table, and he had a red sword scar between his eyebrows. He sat boldly and drank as if there was no one else in the room. “He dared to declare that he could annihilate our Demon Sect. What audacity!”

“Seven Stars Sword? You’re the Demon Sect’s new star, Gu Qixing?”

Ao Zhan felt a headache when he saw the sword beside the youth’s hand, particularly the seven pearls attached to the sheath.

He had hoped that what happened earlier had been done by an individual demon and that the demon immediately ran away afterward. In that case, he could just say some harsh words and get over it.

He was not afraid of experienced martial artists, but he did not want to encounter this kind of ruthless and headstrong youth.

If that headstrong youth had a powerful backer, it would be a disaster.

“So he’s Gu Qixing!”

After his identity was revealed, the room became noisy. “He was the most prominent young man in the Demon Sect before the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber. Since his debut, he has challenged many world-renowned swordsmen and remains undefeated! He’s extremely ruthless. Even the Seven Swordsmen of Qilian Mountain and the Four Allies of Heaven Mountain were all killed by him!”
